Notre Dame, Ind., Oct. 8 — The appointment of two advisors to the schools of business administration and law at the University of Notre Dame was announced today by Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., University president.

Judd Leighton, vice chairman of the board of directors of the First Bank and Trust Company, South Bend, was named to the Advisory Council for the College of Business Administration. Patrick F. Crowley, of the Chicago law firm of Crowley, Sprecher, Barrett and Karaba, will serve on the Notre Dame Law School Advisory Council. Both groups hold faU and spring meetings on the campus.

Associated with banking for thirty years, Leighton was named a vice president and trust officer of the First Bank in 1948, senior vice president in 1953 and vice Chairman of its board of directors last April. He is a director of the Associates Investment Co., the Sibley Machine and Foundry Co., General Building Materials, Inc., and several insurance firms.

Crowley was graduated from Notre Dame in 1933 and from the Loyola University Law School in 1937* Aside from his law practice, he is perhaps best known as a national leader of the Christian Family Movement since its inception in 194-9. The late Pope Pius XII awarded Mr. and Mrs. Crowley the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Medal for their leadership in the field of Catholic Action. Crowley is president of the Catholic Council on Working Life and a board member of the Marillac Social Center, St. Francis Hospital (Evanston),Catholic Scholarship for Negroes and the Calvert Foundation of the University of Chicago.

Notre Dame, In d ., Oct. 9 — The impact of ra c ia l prejudice,

in terrelig ious tensions, alcoholism and narcotic addiction on American l i f e

is explored in Social Problems; A Situational-Value Approach (Prentiee-H all),

a new college tex t by Prof. John J . Kane, head of the University of Notre

Dame's department of sociology.

Just as the medical student cannot neglect the f ie ld of pathology,

a knowledge of these and other social problems is essen tia l to a f u l l under­

standing of aU aspects and functions of society , Dr. Kane w rites. Most

Americans know about overt social problems from the newspapers, radio and

telev ision , Kane observes, but they have " l i t t l e insight in to the complexity

and depth of the causal factors."

Kane's book includes chapters on two topics not usually trea ted in

social problems tex ts: the aging and the aged, and the American Catholic

minority. There are also chapters on "The Negro in America" and "The Jews

as a Minority Group."

Professor Kane devotes major portions of his new book to the

population explosion, mental health, juvenile delinquency and crime, and the

social institu tions of the family, religion and education.

A member of the Notre Dame faculty since 1948, Dr. Kane became head

of the sociology department in 1953* He is a former president of the American

Catholic Sociology Society. His e a rlie r books include Marriage and the Family;

and Catholic-Protestant Conflicts in America.

Notre Dame, Ind., Oct. 24 — The entire manuscript collection of the famed Ambrosian Library in Milan is now being microfilmed for use by scholars at the new Notre Dame Memorial Library.

Rev. A. L. Gabriel, 0. Praem., director of the University*s Mediaeval Institute, completed arrangements for the mammoth microfilming project during the summer, and some of the microfilmed material has already arrived at Notre Dame.

The Ambrosian Library, founded in 1609 by Cardinal Frederico Borromeo, is celebrated for its collection of approximately 30/000 classical, mediaeval and Renaissance manuscripts. Some of the documents date from the third and fourth centuries A. D.

Assisting Professor Gabriel in launching the Notre Dame microfilm project were Monsignor Moneta Caglio, president of the library's College of Administrators;Msgr. Carlo Castiglioni, prefect; and Msgr. Angelo Pared!, senior doctor of the Biblioteca Ambroslana.

The first material to be microfilmed, Prof, Gabriel said, was the thirty-three volumes of the Inventario Ceruti, a handwritten catalog describing the rich manuscript material of the library. This key to the collection is now at Notre Dame. Microfilms of many ninth and tenth century manuscripts have also been received here, he said, and the copying process continues at Milan.

According to Prof. Gabriel, the Ambrosian documents "have great significance for the study of classical, mediaeval, and Renaissance culture and civilization, paleography and art." They will be available to scholars in the thirteen story Notre Dame Memorial Library scheduled for completion next fall.
